Hello,
While trying to upgrade my kernel and reboot to a new one, I didn’t
find 2.6.32 (the one I would like to be booted) in pyGRUB’s list.
After editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, I found that pyGRUB completely
ignores all additions and deletions, and instead it uses some older
version (even a simple change of timeout setting was ignored).
Trying to boot 2.6.32 manually (by pressing “c”) resulted in “boot
loader returned no data” errors, like if the kernel files were
missing. The same error comes up when I try to choose a kernel other
than 2.6.18-4 from the list. This suggests me that the whole /boot is
taken not from the filesystem I try to alter but from somewhere else.
I want to boot to a newer kernel until it’s too late, and I would
deeply appreciate your help with this.
My distro is Debian, and kernels are from the appropriate
linux-image-*-xen-686 packages, if that matters.
